What is the media and Chelsea smoking?
Why on earth are the media and even chelsea themselves under estimating themselves and complaining with their lack of signings.
Just yesterday conte says that he needs four more year to rebuild the squad.
WHAT THE HELL IS HE SMOKING?!
Just last season they won the league, without a doubt much stronger than their rivals.
In reality they have strengthened their squad with their 3 signings.
Morata
Bakayoko
Rudiger
Total spend: €140 million
So what is all their fuss about. They're speaking as if they've lost all their jey players and haven't been replaced. Is this tatics from the manager to take pressure of his players?
Losing:
Costa
Matic
Meanwhile our total spend: €52 million
Lacazette
Kolasinic

Chelsea were incredibly lucky with injuries last season. No manager in the world would choose to take that risk if they thought they could persuade the club to spend money on good backup players

Funny how Chelsea was some brilliant team last season...when they had every possible league rival handicapped by European competition. Celebrated as some wonder team as though they won it on a level playing field. Somehow I don't see much "Genius of Conte" press/pundit coverage this season. Though I anticipate a fair bit of "Where did it all go wrong?" coverage as they all figure out...
Conte's genius = Chelsea players nicely rested legs

Chelsea last season had the 5th highest amount of shots and 5th highest shots on target but scored 85 goals 1 less then Spurs. They overachieved last season breaking the wins record mainly due to lethal Costa and co.

And due to being rested when their rivals played. Costa and co probably don't score as many goals with legs just as tired as everyone else's and them having to face defenders who aren't already tired from a midweek Euro fixture.

Yeah we don't have the 2nd from worst striker in the premierleague in Ibrahimovic anymore. Ibrahimovic might come back but he had a really strange season last season. He had 3 or 4 clinical games and about 30 wasteful games,

It was funny on SKY Pardew and Henry trolling Lukaku movement but the fact was Ibrahimovich was also static at times but his presence gained him the space in the box to have chances. Ibrahimovich was one of the most wasteful strikers in premierleague history last season while Lukaku was one of the most lethal. Interestingly one of the main reasons for the one sided draws was when Rashford missed a good chance like today Ibrahimovich missed about 6 or 7 decent chances and he may score 1 goal and he is carrying us.
Getting Lukaku was an incredible signing and he is now one of the best strikers in the world as well.

Morata at present is not better than Costa though he is a decent player and Bakayako is a downgrade on Matic as there was no need to sell Matic and also I haven't see Rudiger play so I don't know about him.Also we let Admit Begovic go and replaced him with a less capable goalkeeper in Cabellero.Also Chelsea should not have sold Matic to Man U.Still I understand what the original poster is coming from!
